AI may well blow up Western economy and "productivity". Far from "accelerated growth", you'll get recession and beggars on the streets. Too much fake nigga bullshit, not enough polysilicon and concrete. I of course don't wish to see this. We'll see something soon.
Ultimately though, all consumer markets are too small and too stupid. They all tax human attention deficit. And attention is, as we now know, All You Need. How much of "White Collar" labor is rent-seeking on this fact? How much is there to be eaten? AI will go well beyond AI.
